'I love it here'

dim sum-1212

On a deceptively bright summer evening (yay for the Northern Hemisphere!) I popped over the Chez's new digs in Peckham. I still can't believe how Peckham's reputation has changed so much from my teenage years; once feared as one of London's gangland strongholds, it's now full of artschool hipsters tripping on happy pills and super trendy creative types.

Meh, it'll always be the place where I used to beg mum to buy me Jamaican Patties after long, long Saturdays of food shopping, where big baskets of pungent foreign (sometimes alive) ingredients lined the streets.

Chez did her makeup using her super professional lighting and I skulked around her bedroom taking photos of her stuff.

After a long amble around the streets where we searched for somewhere to eat - how hard can it be to find dinner at 10:50pm!?!? - we found a nice little Dim Sum place.

We ordered endless Dim Sum and beers and caught up on work, boys and clothes because apparently we're teenage girls parading as grown ups.

We finally left after we got kicked out at midnight for a night of dancing and debauchery.

I'm not going to lie, the sever delay in summer tempartures here hasn't got me too peeved because I get to wear my leather biker jacket (that one day will have to be prised from my back surgically) and my pointy ankle boots.
